The club announced this on Monday.
Having resigned in 2017 after a 13-year career, Setti has some coaching experience. In fact, in the 2020-2021 season he managed CD Laudio in the third division of Spain. Since then he has been a recruiter for the Greek club Asteras Tripolis.
Delecroix was in charge of performing Stade de Reims until February 2022.
“I am very pleased to complete my workforce with two high caliber young professionals,” Losada said in a statement. I believe it is important to be able to count on colleagues with different knowledge and skills. As a coach, I always try to surround myself with the best to keep learning and growing every day.
“[Setti] is a big football fanatic and a lover of team play. His extensive international experience will be a great asset for communication and integration into the group. [Delecroix] is a perfectly prepared professional specializing in physical conditioning and workload management.”
Losada was named head coach of the Montreal XI on December 21. Previously he headed DCUnited. Laurent Ciman remains at CF Montreal as an assistant, as do assistant coach Stefano Pasquali and goalkeeping coach Romuald Peiser.
More instructors could be added to the group, the team also mentioned.
